What is Element3D?

Element3d is a third party plugin for Adobe After Effects allowing 3D elements from popular programs such as Cinema4D to be brought them into After effects. While it is not meant as a replacement for a full 3d modeling program, its robust features and workflows have become used industry wide.

In this course you will learn the basics of using Element3D in Adobe After Effects. In these lessons we will look at several options for 3d in After Effects including traditional 3D layers, the classic renderer vs raytrace renderer, and briefly look at Maxon Cinema 4d Lite bundled with After Effects. We will tour the interface of Element3D, and make use of the replication engines to create full vibrant Compositions.
